Start from the top anchor of Moby Dick and climb the arête (left of Call Me Ishmael) all the way up to the top. The start is a bouldering move that requires some strength, and the protection of the second half of the route is a bit tricky. Small gears may be handy. Camalots to BD #2. 12 meters. Use the big boulder on the top or the titanium anchor of Shield for top belay (a bit far). For descending, rappel twice if you use a rope shorter than 70m.
